DIRECT TO PHASE II: Tiling Approach to Large Format Focal Plane Arrays

The Department of Defense, specifically the Navy, is seeking proposals for the Direct-to-Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) opportunity titled "Tiling Approach to Large Format Focal Plane Arrays." The objective is to develop and demonstrate a tiling technique that allows for the assembly of small, high-yield focal plane arrays (FPAs) and read-out integrated circuits (ROICs) into a larger, high-performing FPA, ensuring appropriate flatness and uniformity for high-quality imagery. This technology is crucial for military imaging systems operating in the infrared spectral bands, addressing challenges related to pixel resolution and field of view while improving manufacturing costs and yield. Interested parties must submit their proposals by February 5, 2025, with the opportunity details available at the official SBIR website.
